My Samsung Galaxy 5 does not render sound with an open text?

[AC Question]

While texting, I am not getting a sound notification within an open text field.

Welcome to Android Central! Do you mean that if you're in a texting conversation and you get a new message within that conversation, you don't get a notification? I think that's normal. It expects you to see that a new message has arrived, since you're actually in that conversation.
